Have a chance to pick up a very lightly used set for $500 - list on Specialized site is $800. Thinking of replacing the stock Mavic CXP22 wheels that came on my 2011 Secteur Comp. I ride mostly in rolling hills of Central NJ. Nothing tremendous from a climb standpoint, but hills are a part of the typical ride. I'm 170lbs and don't mash ultra-hard - if at all. Just thinking taking 800-1000g or so off the bike might be a good idea as a first upgrade. Plan on using 25c tires on these. Appreciate any thoughts folks might have.
